Christmas night,

Another fight,

Tears we cried,

A flood

Got all kinds of poison in, of poison in my blood

I took my feet

To Oxford Street,

Trying to right a wrong

"Just walk away," those windows say, but I can't believe she's gone.

When you're still waiting for the snow to fall

It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Up above candles on air flicker

Oh they flicker and they float

And I'm up here holding on to all those chandeliers of hope

And like some drunken Elvis singing

I go singing out of tune

Singing how I've always loved you, darling, and I always will

Oh when you're still waiting for the snow to fall

It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Still waiting for the snow to fall

It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Those Christmas lights light up the street

Down where the sea and city meet

May all your troubles soon be gone

Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on

Those Christmas lights light up the street

Maybe they'll bring her back to me

Then all my troubles will be gone

Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on

Oowwwhhhohooooowohohohoooo

Oh Christmas lights light up the street

Light up the fireworks in me

May all your troubles soon be gone

Those Christmas lights keep shining on
